50 Percent more Range from AirPort Extreme "n" Base Station

QuickerTek has developed an upgrade for the Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n Base Station that offers even better wireless performance, up to 50 percent greater range.

The QuickerTek N Antenna Array brings the antenna outside the Base Station case, which enables better signal gathering capabilities. The "array" is a set of matched antennas to extend the 802.11n specification requiring multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) to deliver the high speed "n" wireless networking experience.

Using the included 4-foot coax cable, customers can position the AirPort Extreme N Base Station for best wireless performance in their own office or home. Often placing the Base Station up and out of the way of common office clutter at desktop level, provides the highest possible performance.

Once an AirPort Extreme Base Station is upgraded, it retains backward compatibility with previous wireless standards. It works with all IEEE 802.11 b/g/n networks and performs to it's full speed (near 300 mbps) potential with 802.11n rated hardware.

The new QuickerTek N Antenna Array Upgrade can be purchased three different ways: a customer-installed upgrade is available for $129.95 USD; QuickerTek can install it on the customer's Base Station for $179.95 USD and finally an already-upgraded Base Station is available for $349.95 USD for plug-and-play use.
